I’ve always wanted to try DeLillo’s writing, but I’m intimidated by this one. It is 827 pages long, has a meandering plot, and involves baseball. It doesn’t sound like my sort of thing at all, but I’m hoping that a group of supportive readers can help me reach the end. We’re planning to take it really slowly, reading just 30 pages a week. It would be great if you could join @utterbiblio, @booklovinggirl, @robchilver and me! Most of the discussion will be on Twitter #underworldreadalong, but I’ll also post my thoughts on the blog once or twice as we go along.

Athira, I haven’t read Battle Royale yet – I’m too scared! There seem to be a lot of different reasons that books are on that list and quite a few are there because the writing is disturbing, not difficult to read. Out by Natsuo Kirino falls into that category – I highly recommend you try that one

Note: All books on this blog are rated on a five star system according to how much I enjoyed them. The ratings are not an indication of writing quality nor how enjoyable you may find reading them.
I am notoriously fussy in my reading tastes, so the star rating will only help if you have a similar reading taste to mine. I tend to abandon books I am not enjoying.
